For whatever is worth, they did offer free wifi during my last roundtrip flight less than a week ago - as expected, one of the limitations was no video calls (Zoom, Facetime, etc).

I did LASIK surgery when I was in my 20's. After almost a decade, my vision is pretty much perfect. Recently, Ive been prescribed with glasses only for when I work with computers because Im getting visually tired quicker.

I think it was a good decision in my case, mainly because in my 20's I used to be into decently active activities (5ks runs, long distance biking, etc), so I didn't have to choose between seeing correctly or enjoying what I was doing to the fullest.

That's the equivalent of sending your resume to a company for a job opening and the company saying, "since this resume is now on our control, we own the information in it."

Interesting platform; it never would've occurred to me something like a turn-based strategy game for writing stories.

[College drop-out here]

TLDR: A degree is not completely relevant, but it gives you an edge.

Im my experience, a degree is not necessary, but demonstrating skills is harder than it sounds; a lot of interviewers at non-tech companies are not technical and rely on typical CS material for interviews (algorithms and the like). As a self-thought, I rarely paid attention to this sort of stuff (I started as a web developer) until I had a few interviews. Salary has an impact as well; even though Ive performed better than colleagues, my salary was ALWAYS lower.
